Arran,
Yes every single Bumblebee encountered in Stromberg, in Zenith or in my Eico amps are bad and bad in a worse way than paper shell ones. Almost 3 times the value. So there is no question in my mind as to whether replace them or not. Not that there ever was a question about any paper cap.
The resistor is indeed the one that is sand coated.
For now I will leave it be as else I wll have to buy one or even two (f I want to honor that voltage adjustment switch). But then I rn these radios from batteries so neither selenium element or the resistor are going to be used much.
More is coming today.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
